Please can I reprint your reply at NewYabz and the Ray Cunneff Group….both progressive in membership…..you have an incredibly sharp mind. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On September 25, 2020 @ 5:06 pm I hear your passion…now how to put a plan of action to that energy….this is what I am hearing far and wide……it all points, for me, to how lame an instrument of government we actually have…the constitution was, and is, a mess. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On September 25, 2020 @ 5:04 pm It’s Impossible to Safely Open Schools in 1 Month! “THEY ARE SIMPLY GAMBLING WITH OUR CHILDREN’S LIVES!” This is definitely so….your argument is very well formed and put. Let me add…. Even more at risk thank the kids are their parents, their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, their teachers, there administrators, their coaches, their friends’ parents, grandparents etc. Kids are indeed less likely to suffer significantly from the virus (in the short run, which is all we can say given the small data window) BUT increasingly it is clear that they are spreaders of it……the virus is held in check by their young immune systems and youthful organs….but it is still capable of being passed on and it could have hidden long term effects. No problem. No problem at all. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On July 13, 2020 @ 2:52 pm My Father’s Advice On Opposing Racists: “Let Them Keep Talking” Highly recommended…….a book that provides more background for your own interesting and insightful observations. I was born in Tampa but my Dad was a naval officer and we moved north shortly after my 1950 birth…yes I am in your dad’s generation. All in all I spent seven years as a kid in Southern states, Virginia, South Carolina, Texas, Louisiana. I spent nearly five years in the UK. The remaining six years were in Northern, Midwestern and Western States. We moved a lot. My parents retired in SC and my mother, who was born and raised a southern girl from a well to do family in Florida had a genteel racism at work in her thinking and speech. She was raised by black nanny named Mamie. My dad, also raised in FL had a similar mind set. My dad changed because of the Navy which he served in for nearly 35 years. My mother only changed after retirement when her maid became her friend and business partner. As an adult, I have spent nearly all of my life in the Northeast, the Midwest and a bit overseas studying.Racism lived in all three places and was, in many ways far more insidious in northern cities. I taught in the inner city in Chicago for13 years living in a mixed neighborhood and teaching in a school in the heart of “the ghetto”. Your reflections all ring true for me. So here is the book….and a review from a reader that I really liked. In “Separate Pasts” Melton A. McLaurin honestly and plainly recalls his boyhood during the 1950s, an era when segregation existed unchallenged in the rural South. In his small hometown of Wade, North Carolina, whites and blacks lived and worked within each other’s shadows, yet were separated by the history they shared. Separate Pasts is the moving story of the bonds McLaurin formed with friends of both races―a testament to the power of human relationships to overcome even the most ingrained systems of oppression. A new afterword provides historical context for the development of segregation in North Carolina. In his poignant portrayal of contemporary Wade, McLaurin shows that, despite integration and the election of a black mayor, the legacy of racism remains. THE REVIEW…..This was a delightful memoir but a hard read. McLaurin grew up in the 1950s in town of Wade, North Carolina. This village was along Old Highway 301 and the Atlantic Coast Line, just northeast of Fayetteville, North Carolina. Things were changing in the South in the 50s and shortly after McLaurin left Wade, cars driving south on 301 bypassed Wade on Interstate 95. And there were other changes under foot. Starting in the seventh grade, McLaurin began working at his grandfather’s store across from the “Black” elementary school. McLaurin focuses on his work at the store and his encounters with the African-American community which provided insight into the segregated South on the eve of its demise. This book opened my eyes as I was born in the next county to the west, a year before McLaurin left Wade for college. Our experiences of growing up in the South were different, yet in many ways similar. McLaurin’s grandfather was a man respected by many in “The Bottom,” where most of Wade’s African-Americans lived. He was one who extended credit when needed, especially in the off seasons when there were little work for the men in that community. He was also able to intervene on their behalf with government bureaucracy. One story is about a hard working woman named Viny Love who lived alone with her son who had cerebral palsy. When she was shunned by a county welfare agent, he took it upon himself to get action from the county. In pondering the event, McLaurin realized that he was okay to risk social censure to help “deserving” blacks. Yet, even with that he also understood that his grandfather thought of them as human, they were incapable of fending for themselves and ”Irrevocably flawed.” (132) McLaurin’s family didn’t allow him to use the “N” word, and he realized this was primarily used by lower classed whites; however, he came to learn that just because one didn’t think it was appropriate to belittle those of another race didn’t mean that they were above racism. As he pointed out, African-Americans didn’t come to his home (except to work and then it was through the back door). Nor did he go inside one of their homes. There was one exception to this, when an elderly couple invited him into their kitchen for some pumpkin pie after he’d made a delivery for his grandfather. By the standards of the African-American community, this couple was well off, but McLaurin was shocked by how little they had. Most of this book is about the McLaurin’s memories of interacting with particular individuals from “The Bottom.” He writes about teenage boys playing basketball together and the disgust he felt when he realized that he had wet a pump needle to inflate the ball after he’d been in the mouth of a black boy. He tells about the talk of sex, about myths of the men and women of the Black community. He tells about his talks with “Street,” an African-American man who was considered crazy by both races (he was a Jehovah Witness). Although McLaurin later realized the shallowness and fallacies of some of Street’s arguments, he did credit Street with forcing him to more deeply question his Presbyterian upbringing. And he tells about the one older black man, Jerome, who, like McLaurin, was a Yankee fan. When he’d come into the store, the two of them would discuss baseball. No one else in the community liked the Yankees, according to McLaurin. The whites didn’t because their name and because they were just too good through the fifties. But they weren’t liked by those in the Bottom, either. They were mostly Dodger fans as they were the first team in the major leagues to integrate. The Yankees was one of the last teams to integrate when they signed Elston Howard in 1955 (there were three other teams that integrated after the Yankees: Tigers, Phillies, and the Red Sox). In what had to be one of the more painful stories to write, McLaurin confesses about an incident when he, with a group of other white boys, taunted Sam, an older black man. In the lead up to the event, the reader realizes how of mob mentality can take over. This is McLaurin’s confession: “There was, I knew, no excuse for my behavior, and with that knowledge came a growing sense of guilt. It sprang partly from the realization that I had betrayed the family’s expectations, especially Mother’s, that I have violated the basic human dignity that my family acknowledged blacks possessed. Yet there was another sense of betrayal, deeper and more personal. I realized that I had hurt Sam, had hurt him deliberated, and worst of all, had hurt him for his race.” (109) This memoir was originally published in 1987. It was reissued in 1998, with a new afterword. At that time, McLaurin was the chair of the History Department at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and he reflects back on his adolescent years through the lens of the 100th anniversary of a terrible racial tragedy in Wilmington. These stories are easy to read, yet difficult because of the subject matter. McLaurin is not writing as a historian but as a memoirist. As one who grew up as segregation was waning, I would recommend this book as a glimpse into a world that thankfully has ended even though there is still remnants remaining. I find it odd that McLaurin now lives (or at least when this book was published) where the old Uncle Henry Kirkum’s Oyster Roast stood at the mouth of Whiskey Creek. I grew up not far from there and from the fourth to the sixth grade, I sat in Bus #6, an orange over-sized stub-nose bus, as it passed Kirkum’s on the run through Masonboro Loop Road and on to Bradley Creek School. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On July 10, 2020 @ 3:26 am COVID-19: Prepare For a Long War Hi Step..hey, before I give you my response…..have you ever thought of joining our little group at Vox Populi on Friday nights at 9 PM CST? It can be a little daunting at first, as most real time on line discussion groups are but the pacing is totally up to you. Some folks read along and comment every now and again. Others are really quick and keep up a fast pace. I think the group is terrific and look forward to it every week. The topic is US and what we are concerned with and about….Every time I read you fine articles I think about this: you would bring a lot of wisdom to the table……. Anyway….Every Thursday at 7 AM I get a briefing from my state’s Public Health Director….sent to representatives of all sorts of groups concerned with populations that are particularly vulnerable to COVID 19. In my case I represent a Farming Co-op. At 8 AM we go live with the director, and guests (sometimes the governor, lt. governor, hospital directors, specialists etc.)…..Missouri has walked a fine line given the nature of its citizenry (Trumpistas in large numbers) and the need to get this thing under control….careful, measured responses and the willingness to get tough when that was called for…..lots of folks here remain downright stupid….esp. in the country where I live but the institutions are holding the line…… Still….this thing is going to be with us for a long while……and I fear that tougher lessons lie ahead…..your fine article….which I am sharing with others spells out the reality. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On July 4, 2020 @ 3:41 pm The North and South of a Confederate Monument Most welcome.

He would be deep in some golden bunker surrounded by sycophants, Big Macs and Diet Cola, and all of the great TV coverage he ever got on a video loop. Still…you make a very important point: there is not a thing that he will not say, or do that is “too far” if it promotes himself and his so-called legacy…..Whether it is based on truth or note is of no importance because he can quickly convince himself of his righteousness. P.S. I do wish you would post your brilliant satire at NewYabz. It is really sharp. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 24, 2020 @ 3:35 pm A Special Moment with President Donald I shall copy, paste, post and credit at NewYabz.

But it was the time of McCarthyism and its concomitant “tea partyism 50’s style. As the tone of her party got nastier and nastier and the damage deeper and deeper she wrote these words (and used them in speeches every chance she got: “I don’t want to see the Republican Party rise to victory on the four horses of calumny: fear, ignorance, bigotry and smear.” 70 plus years ago. In her time the press (the principle media outlet with radio second and tv third) faced the same kind of challenges that your excellent post delineates so well. They rose to the challenge despite threats from the right on many levels. But for a while the question of whether they would was very much open and unsettled. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 24, 2020 @ 3:19 pm Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Dr. Oz. Medical claims on The Dr. Oz Show (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_claims_on_The_Dr._Oz_Show) Oz is a spokesman and advisor for the website RealAge.com, which The New York Times has criticized for its pharmaceutical marketing practices.[42] His image and quotes have been exploited by many weight loss product scammers. While he himself has not been found to be involved in these scams, he has made statements that were exploited by scammers.[43][42] During a Senate hearing on consumer protection, Senator Claire McCaskill stated that “the scientific community is almost monolithic against you” for airing segments on weight loss products that are later cited in advertisements, concluding that Oz plays a role, intentional or not, in perpetuating these scams, and that she is “concerned that you are melding medical advice, news, and entertainment in a way that harms consumers.”[44][41] In September 2016, during his presidential campaign, Donald Trump appeared on The Dr. Oz Show.[45] In the lead-up to the show’s taping, Oz promoted Trump’s appearance with a claim that Oz would assess medical records submitted to the show by Trump and reveal his assessment on the show.[46] Several news outlets speculated that Trump’s appearance aimed to appeal to The Dr. Oz Show’s large female viewership.[47][48] In 2018, Trump appointed Oz, athletes and The Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno to his Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Trump’s selections were criticized as choosing “pundits over experts” for the panel.[10] In April 2020, he was criticized after an appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity in which he said that reopening schools that were closed because of the coronavirus pandemic might be worth the increased number of deaths it could potentially cause. He later said in a video on Twitter that he “misspoke”.[49] ======================== Oz’s comments (and those of a number of his fellow travelers) showed a spectacular hard heartedness….but it is a tone that so many on the right seem to embrace with glee. Callous and unprincipled nonsense but a road to fame, fortune and power. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 24, 2020 @ 3:30 pm Can We Fight Coronaviruses and Trump Too? Doubtful. I read this yesterday….. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/can-we-really-develop-a-safe-effective-coronavirus-vaccine/ A quote there struck me as something you might have written: At the same time I am reading from a variety of science sources and the common theme is that there are so many labs in so many public and private venues working on a “vaccine” that the time table in that development is likely to be accelerated. On “All Things Considered” yesterday a panel of immunologists and epidemiologists discussed how the environment for the development of a vaccine has changed tremendously with changes in the direction of research and new techniques looking along new lines including the development of engineered antibodies. So, I think there is cause for hope and concern at the same time. Your arguments in re. to concern are cogent and complete. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On April 24, 2020 @ 2:52 pm Facing Facts: The GOP is a Russian Asset Ad….extraordinary.

Nevertheless it is very rarely used. The House has never censured a President. The Senate censured one, Andrew Jackson. I don’t think there are any limitations placed on the authority or the actions of anyone censured. I have looked for references to the limitations that you lay out. Have you something you can point me to? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 5, 2019 @ 8:32 pm Papers Filed, North Carolina Has First-In-History Openly-Trans Candidate For State Legislature The term Christian humanism has been used to refer to a wide range of views, some of which are more biblical than others. In general, humanism is a system of thought that centers on human values, potential, and worth; humanism is concerned with the needs and welfare of humanity, emphasizes the intrinsic worth of the individual, and sees human beings as autonomous, rational, and moral agents. The extent to which this broad viewpoint is integrated with Christian beliefs determines exactly how biblical Christian humanism is. Classical humanism, which is associated with the Renaissance, emphasized aesthetics, liberty, and the study of the “humanities” (literature, art, philosophy, and classical languages of Greek and Latin). Secular humanism emphasizes human potential and self-fulfillment to the point of excluding all need for God; it is a naturalistic philosophy based on reason, science, and end-justifies-the-means thinking. Christian humanism teaches that liberty, individual conscience, and intellectual freedom are compatible with, and supported by Christian principles and that the Bible itself promotes human fulfillment—based on God’s salvation in Christ and subject to God’s sovereign control of the universe. Christian humanism represents the philosophical union of Christianity and classical humanist principles. While classical humanists studied Greek and Latin writings, Christian humanists turned to Hebrew and biblical Greek, along with the writings of the early church fathers. the patristics. Christian humanism, like classical humanism, pursues reason, free inquiry, the separation of church and state, and the ideal of freedom. Christian humanists are committed to scholasticism and the development and use of science and technology. Christian humanism says that all advances in knowledge, science, and individual freedom should be used to serve humanity for the glory of God. Unlike their secular counterparts, Christian humanists stress the need to apply Christian principles to every area of life, public and private. Christian humanism maintains that humans have dignity and value due to the fact that mankind was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). The extent to which human beings are autonomous, rational, and moral agents is itself a reflection of their having been created in imago dei. Human worth is assumed in many places in Scripture: in Jesus’ incarnation (John 1:14), His compassion for people (Matthew 9:36), His command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31), and His parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:30–37). Paul’s allusions to secular writings (Acts 17:28; Titus 1:12) show the value of a classical education in presenting truth. The second-century writings of Justin Martyr also demonstrate the usefulness of classical learning in bringing the gospel to a pagan audience. Christian humanists understand that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ (Colossians 2:3) and seek to grow into the full knowledge of every good thing for Christ’s service (Philippians 1:9; 4:6; cf. Colossians 1:9). Unlike secular humanists who reject the notion of revealed truth, Christian humanists adhere to the Word of God as the standard against which they test the quality of all things. The Christian humanist values human culture but acknowledges the noetic (i.e., intellectual) effects of man’s fallen nature (1 Corinthians 1:18–25) and the presence of the sin nature in every human heart (Jeremiah 17:9). Christian humanism says that man reaches his full potential only as he comes into a right relationship with Christ. At salvation, he becomes a new creation and can experience growth in every area of life (2 Corinthians 5:17). Christian humanism says that every human endeavor and achievement should be Christ-centered. Everything should be done to God’s glory and not in pride or self-promotion (1 Corinthians 10:31). We should strive to do our best physically, mentally, and spiritually in all that God desires us to do and be. Christian humanists believe this includes intellectual life, artistic life, domestic life, economic life, politics, race relations, and environmental work. Christian humanism believes the church should be actively involved in the culture and that Christians should be a voice affirming the worth and dignity of humanity while denouncing, protesting, and defending against all dehumanizing influences in the world. Christian scholars such as Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas, and Calvin were advocates of Christian humanism, although they did not call it that. Today, the term Christian humanism is used to describe the viewpoints of writers as varied as Fyodor Dostoevsky, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Christian humanism is biblical insofar as it holds to the biblical view of man—a responsible moral agent created in God’s image but fallen into sin. Christian humanism becomes less Christian the more it compromises with secular humanism, which promotes humanity to godlike status. I suspect that much of this is a revelation to you. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 7, 2019 @ 4:58 am In your opinion. And in the opinion of others. I do not claim it.

Thus the core strategy needs to be: Massive GOTV focused on those voters most likely to vote for Dems. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 22, 2019 @ 8:14 am I very much agree that GOTV is key. And one of the principal elements in the calculations that surround those efforts is how voters identify themselves. This report from February 2019 is one I have kept in mind in all of this. “As Gallup has previously reported, the percentage of Democrats nationally who identify as politically liberal has been increasing. This has occurred in three distinct phases: 1) 2001-2006, when the percentage was trending steadily upward; 2) 2007-2012, when liberalism held steady near 40% for several years in a row and 3) 2013-2018, when liberalism resumed its upward trajectory. “The percentage of Democrats identifying as politically liberal averaged 32% in the first period, 39% in the second and 46% in the third. At the same time, the percentages identifying as conservative and moderate fell equally.” https://news.gallup.com/poll/246806/understanding-shifts-democratic-party-ideology.aspx » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 22, 2019 @ 7:57 am Thanks for your complete overview here….there is an article from The Week that captures my concerns re. electoral structure, party makeup, and state control https://theweek.com/articles/850350/democrats-are-denial-about-2020 It says it better than I so I offer it in response to your very valid arguments….. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 21, 2019 @ 7:15 pm I get where you are coming from…..let me point to an article from The Week that captures the issues of electoral structure, party makeup, and state control that most concern me in this. https://theweek.com/articles/850350/democrats-are-denial-about-2020 » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 21, 2019 @ 7:11 pm I agree with your logic here. What seems clear to me is that the GOP will paint Biden as a old, corrupt, representative of the deep state, or as an Obama agent. They will paint Warren and Sanders as free spending, out of control socialists (read that as COMMUNIST). Buttigieg will get tarred with the (whispered) words that he is, you know, one of them, you know…gay. Bloomberg will be framed as a plutocrat who was an awful mayor of NY (which he was not but his stop and frisk policy will be hard for minorities to follow). Patrick is either going to be a closet Obama, or an Oreo, or as a corporate shill. Klobuchar has the least conflicted/controversial profile and she has a strong record. She is smart, reasoning, and has very practical, down to earth proposals on a wide range of topics but her charisma level is low and her campaign is chugging along on fume. Bottom line for me: Whoever the Democratic candidate is that person must appeal to those who tend to vote Dem (when they bother to vote) to get them out to the vote, must appeal to those who tend to vote Dem but are definitely middle of the road centrists, must appeal to minorities esp. blacks and hispanics, must appeal to the progressives and so on. All things to all people….not possible but some combination will need to be addressed to put together a winning electoral college formula, and enough coat-tails to hold the House and, perhaps, to win the Senate. AND….they have to consider the other side of the formula. What will alienate any of these groups such that they will not vote for the Democratic candidate. All that one has to do is consider the impact on a black voting bloc not feeling properly wooed in 2016 in three states that cost Clinton those states…..just one example….. Will progressives do the same if they are not properly wooed? Will others? I am voting Democratic across the board in every election from now until balance is restored in our national and state governments and until enough repair of our governing institutions has taken place for me to have any faith in the GOP. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 20, 2019 @ 8:33 am Who you think fits the profile of “GOP Choice”? Which of the candidates? I will say more but I am trying to get my head around the idea of a Democrat that GOP might be willing to support as a way of getting the Trump Albatross from around their necks. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 19, 2019 @ 12:06 pm Who Will Defend The Constitution? And that warning is well placed…..given the tribalistic partisanship there will be little in the way of patriotic altruism in such an effort. Nearly everyone will work for “their tribe’s” short and long term patriotism. I have no idea how we get out of this. Save one….an informed electorate that casts scoundrels out….no chance. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 16, 2019 @ 8:22 am We are on the same page in this. I agree with all of your observations.

Oz has faced criticism due to his tendency to feature non-scientific and pseudoscientific advice. He has been supportive of homeopathy,[40] and is a proponent of alternative medicine.[41]
It is pretty clear to me that the man thrives on controversy and works to create a whirl of charges and counter-charges around him. His notoriety is the key to his income. Oprah has much that speaks well of her…..her promotion of Oz is not one of them.
“We know that some antibody responses can actually make a disease worse. This proved to be the case most recently for the dengue virus in the Philippines, and there is some hint that issues of this sort will arise with the novel coronavirus. If a vaccine is to be administered to a sizable portion of the human population, it falls on us to proceed with the utmost caution. We must still move as fast as we can with as many resources as we can, but we must do so carefully—or risk exacerbating the spread of the current pandemic.”
I believe that this points to a candidate who politically is a centrist who leans left (and therefore identifies with most of the issues you list and approaches them in terms of practical incrementalism) and offer, in their person, a distinctive difference, a definitive choice…which for me is a woman like Amy Klobuchar.
